Chapter 527: Keeping a Ghost

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Jerk!"

Tantai Juelie roared and became increasingly ferocious-looking. "Do you know the pain and suffering we have endured in the netherworld? Do you know how much we've sacrificed for me to escape from that hell? Do you think you can deny your wrongdoings so easily? That's impossible! My mission is to capture you and let you get the fate you deserve!"

"The fate... I deserve?"

Tantai Guihu looked towards Fang Yuan and his pupils contracted. 'He is indeed the planned creation! If that is so, is he the one responsible for all that had happened 15 years ago? This is unbelievable.'

"Hmm?"

However, Fang Yuan could detect in this instant that all the ghosts he had created were completely annihilated!

A blurred-face ghost in black robes was wielding a sharp blade behind Tantai Juelie. It slowly crept into his body from behind.

"Oh god!"

"Ghost!"

There were screams all around. The headlines for tomorrow would surely be about this paranormal sighting in the city.

"That ghost!"

Tantai Juelie shrieked. "Was it the one who killed Lin Qi? Are you using your body to breed ghosts?"

"Breeding ghosts?"

Thoughts raced through Fang Yuan's mind as he thought about this restrictive spell exclusive only to the Tantai Family.

It was different from his own Spirit Sealing Body. This restrictive spell would alter one's body, allowing it to become suitable to breed a ghost. However, it had limited control over the ghosts in it!

"Is this all you've got?"

Fang Yuan looked towards Tantai Juelie. "Do you think you stand a chance against me with these few ghosts of yours?"

His Spirit Sealing Body was a secret only known to himself. To the people of the Tantai Family, Fang Yuan was merely an incarnation from a Strange Level curse, but he was already strong enough on his own. Together with another top-notch exorcist, their collective combat power was powerful enough to the extent where only the most powerful group of elders in the Tantai Family would stand a chance in taking them down.

"A few?"

Hearing Fang Yuan's comment, Tantai Juelie was a little confused. However, Tantai Guihu was utterly shocked. "Juelie….. How many ghosts... did you keep in you? Are you crazy?"

"Hehe... I've been crazy all along! I am willing to do anything to escape that hell for our family!"

Tantai Juelie was frenzied. "You can never imagine all that I've suffered... the horror of it!"

"Rippppp!"

As he spoke, he tore his shirt apart.

"Ah!"

Screams were heard. Even Jiese the Monk could not bear to look as he shut his eyes and chanted his mantra silently.

"One, two, three, four... Five! Hehe... You're indeed ruthless to keep 5 ghosts in you. Have you not suffered the backlash of it? Could it be because you share the same bloodline with these ghosts, or is it their intention not to harm you?"

A hint of gold flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes as he examined Tantai Juelie.

He noticed mysterious faces on his heart, shoulders, legs and even on his back. These faces were full of life and their eyeballs could even dart around.

Most importantly, Fang Yuan recognised all 5 of these faces!

"The elders of the Tantai Family!"

Tantai Guihu held his head with both of his hands and almost teared as though he was looking at someone familiar. "Did you turn your own family members into ghosts?"

If one was not careful, one would suffer the backlash of keeping so many ghosts in one's body. Therefore, the best strategy would be for one to keep ghosts with the same bloodline as himself, gaining protection and immunity from the fact that they were once family!

"I'm afraid that... they are all willing ghosts!"

Fang Yuan looked deeper into Tantai Guijing. He knew that Tantai Guijing alone could not do anything to force these 5 elders into himself.

Furthermore, if Tantai Guijing were to forcefully kill them to turn them into ghosts, these ghosts would only be filled with vengeance and would not hold back in dealing with whoever killed them. If Tantai Guijing were to kill his own relatives, these elders would surely deal with him in retaliation.

Now that Fang Yuan understood the situation, he knew that all of these would only be possible if the 5 elders of the Tantai Family were willing.

"Hehe... What a huge sacrifice to give up 5 elders of the Tantai Family!"

Fang Yuan knew that these elders had long turned into ghosts and might even lose their memories. All that was left of them were hatred and vengeance!

Hatred and vengeance towards Fang Yuan!

At this point in time, these 5 elders were staring intently at Fang Yuan and their eyes turned bloodshot.

"Phew..."

Fang Yuan lightly exhaled and could feel the pressure from a certain being descending upon them. Surprisingly, he smiled. "This is merely the combined power of 5 powerful Murderous Level ghosts, it's not enough! Not enough!"

A black robe slowly appeared on Fang Yuan and the power of its curse started to spread out. Jiese the Monk and the rest started to feel fear in their hearts and were dizzy, as though a terrorizing presence had arrived.

"Indeed... you are not human, but an evil ghost!"

Witnessing this scene, Tantai Juelie's pupils shrank.

He had already expected that something like that would happen. However, this new ghost was very different from the ghost which he had seen 50 years ago and therefore, he was a little confused.

'No worries... As long as I use my killer move, I will be able to win!'

A chilly look appeared in Tantai Juelie's eyes. With a cunning smile, he took out a ceramic doll.

This doll was only as large as a human's palm. It was red and vein-like structures covered the doll. These veins were trembling.

As soon as he took out the doll, Fang Yuan felt a sense of restriction and the original restriction seal appeared on him once again.

"Haha... how do you feel?"

Tantai Juelie laughed. "This is a curse doll refined by your blood once a month, years ago when you were younger!"

With this curse doll, Tantai Juelie would be capable of dealing with even a Strange Level curse.

Needless to say, this doll was covered in large amounts of Tantai Mieming's blood years ago. If Fang Yuan was indeed a ghost, he would undoubtedly be controlled by this doll!

This was Tantai Family's last resort in case Fang Yuan went out of control!

"Kill Tantai Guihu and capture Tantai Mieming!"

Tantai Juelie started to laugh heartily as a face protruded out of his chest. Evil ghosts started to climb out of his body one by one.

"We have to go all out!"

Tantai Guihu slit his palm and scattered his blood all around. The mask on his face started to change and the power of a curse started to spread from him.

This mask was the source of a curse, and it was obtained by Tantai Guihu in a small village after much effort.

In the mask, there resides an evil ghost which loved to steal a human's... face!

If he could periodically feed the mask with what it wanted, he could temporarily harness its power!

'It's a little troublesome for me to deal with 5 of them... Once I surpass the limit, the evil ghost in the mask will first come out and consume me!'

Tantai Guihu felt fearful as he looked at the 5 ghosts casually crossing the protective boundary created by his own blood.

These elders of the Tantai Family had unique powers in them and were powerful exorcists when they were alive. Now that they were dead, naturally, they would become powerful ghosts!

Furthermore, because of their blood, the blood scattered by Tantai Guihu could do nothing to repel them.

To the people of the Tantai Family, such powerful ghosts were only weaker if compared to the Green Bronze Door!

"This cannot go on... When the time is up, I shall abandon the mask and run!"

Tantai Guihu examined his surroundings and came to a decision.

However, in that instant, he was dumbfounded as he witnessed something unbelievable.

Fang Yuan, who was originally frozen in his spot, started to move.

"Whoosh!"

He was extremely quick. It was as though he was a stream of an air current. In an instant, he arrived before Tantai Juelie and grabbed at the ceramic doll.

"Do you really think you can control me with this little toy made from my blood?"

Fang Yuan snickered and applied a little force in his hands. In that instant, the ceramic doll was crushed into powder.

"What about this!"

Tantai Juelie flipped his wrist and held Fang Yuan's hand firmly.

With that, his palm started to turn purple and black runes started to cover his arm.

This was no longer a human's hand, but a ghost's hand!

Only such a palm would be able to make contact with Fang Yuan in his current state!

"Idi*t!"

Fang Yuan shook his wrist and held his fingers together, forming the shape of an eagle's beak.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

The illusionary figure of a giant eagle appeared and ruthlessly pecked at Tantai Juelie's wrist.

"Pa!"

His palm and wrist fell to the ground and he was stunned.

"Oh, so you've been hiding your martial arts in you all along. You've also replaced your arm with that of a ghost's. Do you think this is enough to deal with me?"

Fang Yuan could not hide his mocking expression. Even though Tantai Juelie could conceal this ghost to the point where Fang Yuan could not detect it using his Golden Fiery Eyes, it was still not powerful enough to defeat Fang Yuan.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

The purple hand which landed on the ground started to buzz loudly and split open, revealing a ghostly face which leapt towards Fang Yuan.

"It's useless! Useless!"

Beneath Fang Yuan's black robes, chains flew out and restricted the ghost in an instant.

Of course, this was not the power of the Spirit Sealing Body.

He was making use of the power of the curse of the pawnshop.

This was how he could previously create ghost swarms by making use of the curse of the pawnshop. With this ability, he could take in ghosts and curses and release them at appropriate times.

A Strange Level curse could be this powerful!

"You... you..."

Tantai Juelie was shocked and slowly retreated.

The 5 originally-ferocious ghosts turned around teleported themselves to surround Fang Yuan. With that, they swung their claws at him.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The chains swung around. Like spider webs, they swirled around Fang Yuan and captured the 5 ghosts in an instant before pulling them into Fang Yuan's black robe.

"Too... Too much! That's too much!"

Even Tantai Guihu was stunned at this scene and was speechless. "Who's the human and who's the ghost here?"

The ferocious ghosts which pushed him to the brink of fleeing were so simply captured. He could never imagine this.

"This person... He might really be able to remove the curse on the Tantai Family!"

Tantai Guihu looked towards Fang Yuan and was filled with confidence.

"Don't... don't kill me!"

Tantai Juelie, with one of his arms severed, realised that even his strongest move was being countered. Looking at the advancing Fang Yuan, he broke into tears and was about to mentally break down.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you!"

A golden hue flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes.

However, in this instant, something which even Fang Yuan did not expect happened!
